When you’re hankering for pizza, and aren’t up for the fuss of making your own dough (even though it’s delicious), these Easy Sweet-N-Smoky Mini Pizzas are just for you. Food for Life® Sprouted Whole Grain English Muffins make wonderful pizza crusts. Of course you can use your own favorite brand of English muffins, just make sure they’re whole grain, have no oil, and list no unrecognizable (industrial chemicals) ingredients on the label. Food for Life® fits the bill. As they say on their website, “These unique English Muffins are different from any you’ve ever tasted.” We agree! And they are really hearty, lending a terrific “chew” to these mini-pizzas. They are available nationwide in the freezer section of many grocery stores. Keep them in your freezer and just use them as needed.
The sauce in this recipe is what gives these pizzas their sweet-n-smoky flavor. We love it. It’s a great change of pace from common pizza sauce. And the sauce freezes well, so you can make a bigger batch of it and freeze it in pint jars for later. When it comes to having delicious home-cooked food, without starting from scratch every time, big-batch cooking is your friend.
